FORECAST: Monsoon storm chances continue

PHOENIX — The monsoon is back in action across Arizona!

Showers and thunderstorms will fire up in the high country this afternoon, and a few could reach the Valley this evening, bringing the threat of damaging winds and blowing dust.

Flooding rain is the bigger concern up north. A Flood Watch is in effect for parts of Coconino, Yavapai and northern Gila counties, including Sedona, Prescott, Payson, and Oak Creek Canyon.

Some storms could drop 1-2″ of rain in less than an hour. The Pocket Fire burn scar is especially vulnerable.

Meanwhile, dangerous heat is building across southwestern Arizona. An Extreme Heat Warning is in effect for the Parker Valley and Yuma through Thursday evening.

Storm chances continue all week with plenty of monsoon moisture in place. A disturbance moving through Mexico could give storms an extra boost here, with the best chances Thursday and Friday.

Stay tuned for updates!
